Another season...

The truth is this season in life is wearing on me. More so mentally and spiritually.

I really miss having our own home. I could not ask for better in laws, this has nothing to do with who we're living with but how we are living. I am really missing having our own space, quiet times, family times and now that I'm in total nesting mode I'm sad that I don't have a nursery to put together and prepare for our newest little man. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for this time that we have to save for our southern home and have lots of space for the kids to play, until then it's just...different.

My attitude has not been nice lately. I feel like I'm always frustrated, short with those I love and complaining. That is not my hearts desire at all nor is it who I am. It's like a war going on in my heart, I want to be joyful through this time and get through this season...not just survive it but get through it well.

So many thoughts in my head about the months ahead. Chris getting through busy season at the firm, finishing grad school, bringing home a new baby, finding a job in Tennessee, finding a house in Tennessee, moving us across the country all in the next 7 months (but I want it sooner!) I seriously find myself with a racing and overwhelmed heart when I think about it all. But you know what? There is beauty in this mess and that's what I'm working on. Letting it go and letting God do His work.

It's a daily battle. Asking the Lord to pick up these pieces that I'm in and asking Him to continue to guide us and lead us and give us His wisdom so that we may follow His plan and stop freaking out over ours. I know that His is so much better, not always the easiest but I look back at ALL that He is done and say, "WOW! Look at what you've done Lord!" It's completely humbling and literally brings me to my knees....and sometimes all I can get out is a simple, thank you. And that's ok. As rough as this is on my heart right now, I believe God has me in this messy season for a reason. Bringing my heart back to one of thanksgiving, thanking Him for all the things He has done, the things He is currently doing...big and small and thanking Him for the things to come...because I know my God and He has good things for those who love and fear Him.

Life is good. We are so blessed. I don't want to lose sight of all of the joy God has given us. But I also am not going to try to fool myself or the world that this season we're in right now is easy. We all have our different battles, this is just mine right now. I know that God is going to do something big through this and I have a feeling it has to do with; learning to let things go better, trust, patience, and joy through all the unknown.

So while I'm over here freaking out that I don't have our own quiet home to bring our newborn home to, somebody pray for me to get over it.

This is just a season.
Thank you, Jesus!

Remember my Trust your gut post?I feel like a whole new girl since I wrote that a month ago. So many things have been confirmed and I feel like my happy healthy self again. All because of two things; 1. The gallbladder cleanse that I posted about. Literally saved my gallbladder and my sanity. No more stomach pain! And I can drink wine and margaritas without pain again! 🙌🏼 2. I found out that I have a sensitivity to gluten. It's still a mystery to me as to how I developed this but all I know is that when I do have gluten my joints hurt, I get awful headaches and an upset stomach along with bloating. Back to my first post about this... I took a "before picture" thinking I was going to 5-10 pounds and then post my "after" picture. 😂😂😂 Truth is, there are still plenty of calories in gluten free food. The other truth is I'm 80-20 gluten free. I still enjoy a few non-gluten free treats here and there (and then pay for it later). I love food. I reward myself wit…

If you've followed me on Instagram for a while you've seen that I've been struggling with pain, nausea and some other lovely side effects every single time I put something in my mouth. 😭I've been in the ER, to a specialist and was about to go in for a hidascan before I canceled it 20 hours before I was to go in. I was uneasy about the scan in the first place. I knew it was going to show issues with my gallbladder. I had every symptom. I also knew that the next step after the scan was surgery to remove my gallbladder. I know it's an organ that isn't quite necessary but being a mom with 4 small babes, surgery wasnt the best option. I mean it would be nice to have an excuse to lay around for a bit but let's be real, that wouldn't even happen. 🤦🏼‍♀️ #momlife I felt this super strong thing come over me the morning before to scan telling me to cancel it and change my lifestyle a bit. I love food y'all. That's no surprise. I have 17 pounds to lose to…
